Ny incredilous friend took down her
Browning, turned gravely to one of the most
mystical of the poems and began to read the
wrong end first. That is to say, she read the
last line first, and then the next to the last
line, and kept on till she had read the whole,
finishing in an animated delivery with the
first line of the poem. She lent to the
rhyme, more or less dubious, of the poet, the
music, quite undeniable, of her voice; and
tho new disciple Of Browning drank it all in
with eager ears. "There" the reader said,

who sat in BARRIERS chair away up on Madi-

Am Asteni.hcd indian.

aThey tell me a story about Geronimo"
said a man from Arizona at the Palmer
house yesterday. "While the Apaches were
raiding the ranches in the foothills OF New
Mexico they captured white man who had
false teeth, glass eye and cork leg. The
unfortunate fellow was dragged into the hills
where the Indians were encamped and
strapped to tree to die. just before dusk
Geronimo happened to pass the prisoner, who
had succeeded in releasing one of his arms
from the leather strap which bound him to
,Ihe tree.
"'Ughr grunted the big Apache chief,
punching the white man with the muzzle Of
his Winchester.
"The prisoner thrust his fingers into his
mouth, removed his teeth and shook them in
the face of the Apache. This done, he replaced
the plates as quickly as he had removed them,
and, plucking out his glass eye, began polish
ing it OH his knee. Geronimo had seen good
many things in his life, but the sight of a
man removing his teeth and eyes at will was
enough to make the savage's hair stand on
end. Without waiting to strip the prisoner
of his clothes, as was their custom, the
Apaches released the nervy fellow, and, put
ting him astride horse, fairly begged him to
leave the camp. The settler needed no second
invitation. Selling the animal by the name
he rode a few yards out into the opening
when, to the horror OF the savages, who had
been watching his fight, he pulled of his cork
leg and waved it above his head. 1t is said
on good authority, that this is the first In
stance ON record where the superstition Of an
Apache got the better Of his knife.-Chicago

ranged for the dining room and library does
not admit OF crate or mantel being used Such
an arrangement is entirely possible, however,
by constructing for corner CRATES. THERE'S
coziness about a corner crate which Is not al
ways to be noticed in one placed in the side of
a room. The expense Of the brick work for
such CRATES in this house would be about SIS
il economically arranged. The mantels and
CRATE fittings could be made to cost whatever
the owne, desires to have them-S20 each or
more. Hence about SOS is saved by having
the plain flues, providing we do not consider
the cost of the stoves. In any event stove
should be used in one of these rooms for the
purpose Of making crate fire possible in
others during the cold weather.
There is one very largo window opening
into the dining room. 1t is very pleasant
thing to have the upper sash Of the dining
room window glazed with simple colors of ca
thedral glass. This glass gives a very pleas
ant tone to the light Of the room, and at the
same time excludes the hot rays Of the sun in
summer. It is entirely possible to dispense
with outside shutters where cathedral glass Is
used in tia upper sashes A metal rod run
ming across the window on the inside on q
level with the horizontal dividing rail Of the
window may be made to carry curtains
which will exclude tho view from the outside.

tain we hove all that might be expected Of

There ia a chiua pantry between the kitchen
and dining room. 1t is lighted by small
window at one side. It serves as passage
between these two rooms and thus serves to
keep the odoT of the cooking from the front
part of the house. The pastry pantry 10 inn
mediately back Of the china pantry and is en-
tered from the kitchen. 1t is also provided
with small window. In the kitchen is
sink with a swinging table at one side and
room for portable table on the other. At
one side of the sink may be the cistern pump
and on the other side the well pump. The
pumps should be placed well back against the
wall and with handles that are well out Of the
way when not in use 1t is entirely unneces-
sary to place the pumps in the yards of low
cost houses as is so common. IL driven well
is used it could be driven so as to be next to
the kitchen sink. II it is u dug well it may be
placed on the outside and connected through
lead pipes with the sink on the inside. The
cistern may he connected In the same way.
The passage way to the cellar is conveniently
rlnnnd in ono ooraer of the kitchen. The Gel
Lar itself is under the library. The side porch
Is large enough to be used as q summer
kitchen by those who desire it.
IT is to be noticed that there is no waste
room in the hall up stairs. There Is merely
wall space enough to admit Of doors passing
into the various rooms There is a small
window which lights this hall; This window
may be reached for cleaning from the stair
way. This plan illustrates as clearly as pos
sible the advantage of having q main stair
way land ir the middle Of the house. There
can be nothing better in the way Of the
economical use OF space. From the second
floor hall there is stairway passing to the
attic There is door at the foot of this at
tic stairway the advantage of which is ap-
parent. The attic stairway is lighted in the
same way as the second floor hall.
it may be said the bedrooms Of this house
are not large. The house is not large. The
problem involves low cost, roomy house
We get q large number of rooms within a
small Enclosure ana necessarily some of them
arc small This thing is to be borne in mind,
however, that the value Of room is not de-
pendent upon its size. A room may be Of
respectable dimensions but yet not have the
necessary wall space for the furniture. Such
room would not be as satisfactory as q
smaller one had care been taken to provide
this space. In each bedroom there should be
space for a bed wash stand and dress
ing case. The latter should be near
a window. 1t will be found that there
is room for such furniture in each of the bed
rooms shown on this plan. All are provided
with ample closets. In one of these houses
which l built there was a door between the
bedroom in front and the chamber In an
other case there was a door connecting the
two larger rooms. All these things are mat
tiers of personal preference or special family
requirements, depending upon the age and
number of the children and other family con-
hitions

The UnIucky TOmtit.

A certain Tomtit, feeling himself somewhat
sweiled up by the salnbriousness Of fine
October morning, thought he would go ahead
and puff out his plumage to such an inordi-
nate extent that his fellow tits would mistake
him for an Owl, and, scurrying away, afford
him much amusement Of refined and intel
lectual character. His little racket would
have worked all right had it not happened
that just as he was indulging in the prelimi-
nary chucxles over his success in frightening
his comrades, Philadelphia gunner came
along and, installing him for a partridge,
bowled him over without further ceremony.
